I already know I’m going to catch flack … from those who believe vaccines are perfectly safe, that injecting 49 doses of 16 vaccines containing neurotoxins, carcinogens, antibiotics, detergents, foreign DNA and live and mutated viruses before age six is no cause for concern, and from those who think natural medicine (which has been around since circa day one) and the belief that the body can heal itself, is pure quackery. If you are one of those people, this post is not for you.
If your child was vaccinated, suffered an adverse reaction, has a chronic health condition, or if you want to prevent one that could occur in the future as a result of being vaccinated in the past … then a detox may be in order. If you believe in the science that shows that accumulated toxins contribute to health conditions and want to address the burden vaccines placed on your child and the toxins stored in their body as a result, this post is for you.
This whole concept of detoxing is really quite simple: Detoxing attempts to restore balance by supporting the body’s elimination channels and by binding to metals, chemicals, and toxins so they can be safely removed from the body. Vaccinations are certainly toxic. Think I’m wrong? Check out the list of additives here.
We’ve got formaldehyde (a probable human carcinogen), mercury (a neurotoxin and the second most toxic substance known to man), aluminum (a known neurotoxin, 75% of which is retained in a newborn and up to 40% in an adult and is stored in the kidneys, spleen, liver, heart, brain, lymph nodes, and muscle), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (a hazardous substance), MSG (a neurotoxin), 2-Phenoxyethoanol (a hazardous toxin), and polysorbate 80 (a toxin associated with serious adverse effects including death), to name a few.
Let me save you some time, none of the ingredients contained in vaccines are safe, many are stored in the body, and all of them contribute to health conditions, if not today … then tomorrow.
Oh, but these ingredients are easily excreted from the body … except that they’re not. Fully functioning kidneys are required to eliminate many of these ingredients and a child’s kidneys are not fully developed until they are 1-2 years old. Good bowel flora (which ingredients in the vaccine compromise) is required for proper elimination of toxic substances, and the skin … well you see the attempts of the skin to eliminate these toxins. It’s called eczema, and it’s not “normal.”
Children’s Vaccine Detox Protocol
There’s a misconception that detoxing is harsh or can only be done via chelating and fasting. With children, it is extremely important that detoxing be done in a slow, gentle manner, and in the safest way possible. A detox usually lasts a month but may last longer if your child suffered an adverse reaction. After the detox is completed, you can narrow in on your child’s specific health condition (if they have one) which is why establishing care with a Naturopath, Naturopathic Physician, Functional Medicine Doctor, or Chiropractor trained in this area is a great idea.
Here are some gentle detox ideas for a child who has been vaccinated (to help counteract the harmful effects of vaccines):
Detoxification bath – This bath can be used to pull bacteria and viruses from the spine, and cellular waste, metals and chemicals from the body. Add 5 drops of “Lavender“ to your child’s bath with a 1/4 cup of epsom salt. You can also do this as a foot bath.
Probiotics – A probiotic is essential to restore gut flora and balance the immune system. This is very important especially if a child experienced an adverse reaction to a vaccine (like eczema, ear infections, arthritis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disease, etc.). I love “Life Start” by Natren (for babies/young children) and this probiotic by Garden of Life.
Omega 3 Oil – This is especially important to take if your child suffered an adverse reaction or had MMR, DPT, Dtap, or Varicella vaccines. Cod liver oil is thought to be the most superior of all fish oils but with the cost of CLO and potential rancidity, I use Udo’s Oil.
Cilantro Chelation Therapy – Dr. Yoshiaki Omura discovered that the leaves of the coriander plant can accelerate the excretion of mercury and aluminum from the body. If you give the body what it needs, it will heal itself, and cilantro has a molecular bond that binds to heavy metals and pulls them from the body. Cilantro therapy is gentle and inexpensive.
To use: Incorporate cilantro into your detoxing regimen by juicing with cilantro consuming it raw. Your child should have a minimum of 1 teaspoon daily for 2-3 weeks. You can also do a detox bath with two drops of coriander and epsom salt.
Elderberry – This is an excellent herb for children and can be taken as a syrup or in supplement form. Research shows that elderberry inhibits enzymes used by viruses to penetrate and infect healthy cells. Another option is Elderberry Defense which contains Echinacea, royal jelly, and olive leaf. Echinacea strengthens the immune system, fights viral infections in the body, and increases the production of T-lymphocytes to fight bacterial toxins, and stimulates macrophages (that filter out and destroy foreign particles, bacterial and toxins in the lymph system).
Royal jelly contains many nutrients and all 8 essential amino acids, helps prevent illness, and combats the stress on the body caused by vaccines. Olive leaf has been shown to be an effective remedy against almost every type of disease-causing microorganism, relieves many health problems, and has exhibited microbial effects against over 130 infectious diseases. It would be pertinent to take this remedy if your child has had any of the live vaccines including MMR, Varicella, Flu Vaccine, OPV, DPT, and would also be indicated in Dtap.
There are several ways to take elderberry: You can make your own elderberry syrup for children under two, purchase elderberry in soft chew or herbal form (2 capsules daily mixed in applesauce), or drink an elderberry-infused tea.
Vitamin C helps counteract the damage of heavy metals, chemicals, and toxins contained in vaccines and strengthens the immune system. The best way to get vitamin C is through food but since we’re detoxing, adding a supplement and taking it frequently throughout the day is beneficial. I typically recommend vitamin C chewables but powdered form and liposomal form is also an option.
Silica helps gently pull toxins out of the tissues and into the blood stream to be eliminated from the body. Studies on silicic acid show that it is an effective non-invasive therapy for reducing the burden of aluminum in the body, that it slows down the accumulation of aluminum in brain tissue and the gastrointestinal tract, substantially reduces aluminum bioavailability to humans, reduces toxicity in plants and animals, and enhances the excretion of aluminum in urine without negative side-effects. In other words, silica can only help a good detox. You can purchase silica in liquid mineral form, as a cell salt, or as an herbal supplement (horsetail).
Homeopathic Antidotes – Some children benefit greatly from homeopathic antidotes. Typically, a homeopath or naturopathic doctor will either recommend a remedy based on the constitutional type of your child and side effects they experienced as a result of vaccinations, or will recommend a vaccine potentized as a homeopathic remedy known as a “vaccine antidote.”
If your child was vaccinated against chicken pox, measles, mumps, rubella, and polio, you would want a Varicella antidote, MMR antidote, and IPV antidote. If they were injected with vitamin K or Hepatitis B, you would want a vitamin K and Hep B antidote. Antidotes generally have no negative side-effects and are in an easy-to-take sugar pellet form that can be dissolved under the tongue or crushed up.
Water – When toxins are pulled from the body, they need to be flushed out. Full kidney function is dependent upon there being enough water in the body. Avoid soda, dairy, and junk juices and encourage your child to drink plenty of water (5-8 cups) throughout the day. You can sweeten it with a little honey and lemon (for increased vitamin C) or add some liquid chlorophyll.
Massage – During a detox it is especially important to “milk the lymph nodes” through gentle massage. The Lymphatic system is the clean-up crew of the body and massage helps remove cell wastes, proteins, excess fluid, viruses, and bacteria trapped in the lymph nodes.
Dandelion Root (herbal or tincture)- Supporting the liver during a detox is very important because the liver performs over 5,000 functions – including toxin filtration. Although there are several herbs that can support and cleanse the liver, none are safer, more effective, or as inexpensive as dandelion. Dandelion helps the liver and gallbladder filter out toxins, purifies the blood, stimulates the kidneys to eliminate toxins through the urine, and assists with cell metabolism.
You can purchase dandelion greens from the store (to use in juices and smoothies) or purchase in pill form, as an herbal tea, or pick them from your own back yard. If you have a hard time believing that the “weed” in your yard could serve such an important purpose, might I recommend reviewing the studies on dandelion in the PubMed database? They are quite impressive.
Raw Food, Juices, & Smoothies – The absolute best way to counteract the harmful effects of a vaccine is through food, and my favorite way of doing this for children is through raw smoothies and juices. Shoot for at least 2-3 raw juices or smoothies per day during a detox, in addition to their normal meals. You can check out my Pinterest for some of my favorite juices and smoothies and “Ergonomics of a Smoothie” for smoothie tips. Try to include foods like broccoli, collards and kale, daikon radish, garlic, onions, spices, and sunny-side up eggs from free-range chickens in their diet during this time.
Detox Side-Effects: What to Expect
It’s not unheard of for there to be mild side-effects during a detox known as a “healing crisis.” Your child may be grumpy for the first few days, may experience a worsening of symptoms, loose stools, may sleep more, or may experience flu-like symptoms. However, your child (more commonly than not) may experience no noticeable side-effects.
What To Do After a Detox
If you haven’t established a relationship with a natural medicine practitioner, I would highly recommend it. These individuals are trained in nutrition and alternative therapies and can provide a plan to address your child’s individual needs. If you don’t have one available in your area, continue to seek out things that will help your child’s specific condition, and when it doubt, juice it out. Juicing is safe for all people of all ages and will address both toxicity and deficiency.

HELLO MEGAN!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and life with us. What a blessing you are. You mentioned a homeopathic anecdote for Vit. K. Is there something other than Thuja you would recommend for children who have only been injected with Vit. K only?? As we live in NY, ALL of my grand babies had to receive the K and eye ointment in order to be released from the hospital. It was either that or CPS is called in. My oldest grand baby, now 4 has come back…..slowly but surely……from an Autism diagnosis from this vaccine alone. His younger brother has eczema very badly.
Hello, I’m a little confused. Your cilantro chelation protocol mentions coriander….is that a typo or are you suggesting to use both? I will be getting the flu vaccine mandated by my employer in a few weeks and I’d like to detox afterward. Thanks!
Coriander is the essential oil you’d be looking for. Cilantro is the name you’ll find it in at the store and what you’d put in a smoothie or juice.
Cilantro and coriander are the exact same herb.
You won’t find “cilantro essential oil.” It will be called “coriander essential oil.” That’s why I differentiated it – so people wouldn’t be confused when they went to look for that product.
I have cilantro essential oil. It is the best smell ever.
I guess that depends on what essential oil company you use. There IS cilantro essential oil. I do have some from butterfly express (that is the only one from butterfly express that I have).
Great points…we love garden of life probiotics as well. We use elderberry, but hadn’t heard of the defense, I’ll have to check it out. I would check with yiur dentist on the vitamin c chewables, they usually discojrage it because vitamin c eats away the enamel off your teeth. I do liquid for my kids with real food multivitamin instead.
I just found your blog. Good suggestions, but I would say when the kid grows even a bit older Cutler’s mercury/heavy metal detox protocol becomes more relevant. Have you heart of it?
And feel free to look up my self-help tips too and comment on them if you have any experience, good or bad.
Is Cutler’s mecury/heavy metals detox readily available?
Hi Marilyn. Thank for your question. You must study a bit first how it works. It is available as soon as you buy the products and know how to use them:-) Best way to do is to join some support groups or at least read this one first: http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/chelationnetwork/chelation-the-andy-cutler-protocol/
Or you can continue discussion on my own blog so the conversation won’t go too much off topic regarding this post. I can give some more tips there under my own platform. I have also Facebook page if you like to talk there.
I have a 5 month old. How old does she have to before I can do a detox for her?
This is what I’m wondering too…
can vaccine cause ADHD ? And if so.. What flowers oils can be used to detox the body / brain from them.. My son will be 6 in October ..
What about fiber or something to help carry toxins out of kids body? What do you suggest especially with using cilantro to move metals?
What is the MMR antidote you mention? Thanks
Each of my children have only received 1 or 2 vaccines. I worry about the toxins in the environment as well as the toxins that were in the vaccines. Could these recommendations be a regular part of our diets and promote consistent detoxing or can they only be introduced at interval times in our diet? We live close to a freeway so even though we are surrounded by an almond orchard and multiple trees, I have pollution concerns and also pesticide concerns regarding the almond orchards. My increasing awareness of our environment makes me feel like we need to (gently) daily detox to some extent!
I just bought a Kangen Water machine! This is an investment in my family’s health for as long as we live and is the answer to my prayers for a Daily Detox!
I would be very careful with the essential oil advice for infants and children. Ess oils do not detoxify in any way, and can, in fact, put more burden on the liver and kidney. The oils can also cause major or minor skin irritation as a child’s skin is much more sensitive. Therefore, no ess oils should be used before 6 months old and only selected ones after that.
One must also be careful using herbs as they, as well as ess oils, can have contraindications with age, use of other drugs or herbs, and health conditions. Please work with those trained in natural medicine modalities and avoid taking direction from salespeople.
Please see the Tisserand Institute for more information.
Also, homeopathy is ideal for detoxing children.
Ouh he has also lost eye contact all this happened within 2 weeks of vaccination.
Sorry to read about your situation. My son who was 2-1/2 months old passed 2 weeks after getting vaccinated for Hep B… like a 2-1/2 month old baby is even at risk for that… My wife and I both suffered from life threatening issues and I was close to death and a co-worker told me Jesus would heal me. And I was, and so was my wife. It’s to late for our son but its not to late for your son. You or any one else can email me at [email protected] and I can go into more detail if you want but, the healing has been bought and paid for. The healing is just a benefit though, Jesus wants a daily relationship with all of us. I encourage all of you to give Jesus a honest try, He will change your life.
Hanna speak life over your son, speak the truths and promises from the Bible. I will do the same.
Hi, im a mom of 19m boy, i believe my son has suffered thru dtap ipv hib (5 in one vaccine) given at 2m and 4m of age. He went from being able to roll immitating nursing really well..to being hypotonic not being able to move, getting upto 30 seizures a day, projectile vommiting constipation and severe headache (he started hitting his head with his hands and toys) it was so bad i hd to swaddle him 😢. Docs dismissed me, gave me paracetamol stool softeners and reflux meds. I knew in my gut it was the vaccines!!! I did nothing but cope with what was going on for months…he regressed so much it was heartbreaking. I stopped lactating around 2 m after the vaccination. And put him cows milk formula! Another idiotic thing i did! There is no support where i live, and blaming vaccine immediately puts me in the red zone. People look at me like im a lunatic! I hv not vaccinated him since. He has been gfcf for the past 7 months..on biogaia probiotics and nordic natural fish oil. Showed improvements immediately after i switched the cows milk formula for a rice base formula…started rolling..just this month at 19m old he started pulling up and crawling…but he does not say anything except mama and baba which is something he has been saying since he was 3mos old!!! He does not eat much. I hv gone all organics but have not hd any success in getting him to eat anything…he is only 17lbs in weight. Ive cried a river for my ignorance and suprisingly still hv a steady supply of tears its breaking my heart to see him like this.
Hello. Have you used vactruth.com website? They also have a Facebook page. Lots of information there. There may be more you can do to help your little one get better. Best wishes.
Tq shirley, i will.
Hello, my darling. I’m also a mum who lives with the consequences of trusting the safety of vaccines and used to cry herself to sleep as her youngest baby boy just stopped “existing” and refused human contact by hitting and pulling hair.
I’m gking to say you are a wonderful mother and your baby has all the changes to start a swift detox. We have found homeopathy to work wonders for him. He’s autistic with severe behavioural challenges.
On your way to rehabilitate your child, please don’t forget about yourself as well. I did. In that madness of doing it all by the book and get my kid back on track, I kinda forgot about my needs.
Facebook may be another great way for you to keep in touch with like-minded parents and look into ways to keep yourself informed.
Currently I’m subscribed with “Arnica group of parents in UK” and I find this community pure gold. You can find emotional and mental support, solutions to any given and immediate health issues and not only.
Never allow anyone to stump on your positivity and always look forward. Keep shining and stay blessed, my darling! Hugs from East Sussex, UK. XX
Tq bella for sharing, and tq for yr kind words, i will look it up, i do need support i know that!, there r days i feel ill just collapse and then i find the strength to go on somehow. Prayer to yr child and family and yrself. Stay blessed! I applaud u for yr strength 😘Tq
My daughter was vaccine injured. http://www.Abigailesstory.blogspot.com. Have your Dr. to try and do a stool sample for fecal fats. He doesn’t sound as though he is absorbing any nutrients. Typically a fecal fat will show this and enzymes tend to make a huge difference. I am currently working as Integrative Nutrition working on finishing ND program. I have worked with this for 14 years. I work with vaccine injured families as well. I am currently working on new website but the blogspot is up.
Based on my experience with my own child, I think your little one isn’t eating because everything (except perhaps liquids) he eats gives him a bad bellyache. What got my non-eating child to eat heartily was Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride’s “Anti-Diarrhea Diet” which is the introductory diet for her GAPS diet. You can easily find information on the GAPS diet on the web, and there are now many health care practitioners who are trained in the GAPS diet. I hope you will find a practitioner and quickly get your little boy on Dr. Natasha’s treatment program!
There is one thing that I did in addition to the GAPS diet that really helped my child. I found that my child reacted very, very badly to foods that are considered “incompatible” for her blood type. I got information about foods to avoid for my child’s blood type from the Eat Right 4 Your Type (Blood Type Diet) books by Dr. Peter D-Adamo. So I did the GAPS diet but carefully avoided feeding my child the “Avoid” foods for her blood type.
It’s heartbreaking to have a little one with such serious problems, I know! But when you “get the diet right” for your child, it will make an enormous difference!
